IMPROVBD HARNESS-RING.

'ro ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:

Beit known that I, GEORG H. BUGKIUS, of Canton, in the county of Stark,and'State of Ohio, have invented an Improved"Harness-Ring; and I dohereby deelarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionof my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification, and yto theV letters of referencemarked thereon, of which drawings- Figure 1 is an elevation of myimproved ring.

Figure 2 is a plan of the same.

Figures 3 and 4 are elevation and plan, showing the application of myimproved ring.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a ring, withone or more arms on its periphery, said arms being of such form as to besewed in between the news of stitches at the sides of the leather towhich the ring is attached, whereby any sliding of the leather aro'uhdthe ring is prevented; and where two-,br more straps are attached to thesame ring, and an ar'mis used incombination with each strap, the strapsare maintained in their relative positions .with respect to each otherand to :the ring, which is very advantageous in many places in aharness, las ivell as in halters, and other articles of a similar class.I I

To enable others skilled in `the art to make and use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construe; tion and application. l v V Thering A is composed of malleable iron, or any other suitable material,andhasarranged'on its peripherythe arms' B, which are cast vvith thering A, or attached to it'in any other suitable manner. l l

Thse arms B are of'au elongated flattened form, of lany suitable length,and can be arrangedon the ring A in any suitable manner.

When the ring is applied to use, as, for instance, at the connectionA ofthe' nosepiec'e and head-pieces of a halter, the straps C are turnedover the ring and one arm, as shown, and the Whole is secured 4inYposition by -the rows of stitches c c, at each side of the strap C, andon each side of the arm B, as. shown.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesireto secure by Letters Patent,is-

A ring, A, having one r more arms, B, arranged o'n its periphery,substantial-ly as4 and for the. purpose specified. I

As 'evidence that I claim'the foregoing,-I'have hereunto set my hand inthe presence of two Witnesses, this 7th any .er any, A. D. 186e. GEO. H.BUCKIUs.
